Berean Literal Bible, Matthew 28:

1 And after the Sabbaths, it being dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Why plural?

Nisan 15 Friday was a day of rest according to Ex 12:15, a paschal Sabbath day. Nisan 16 Saturday was a weekly Sabbath day.

Berean Standard Bible decided not to show this bit of confusion:

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
Mark wanted to keep it simple as well in 1:

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body.
